GENERAL INFORMATION 

 

Fig. 1. CLMERxxN (without optional covers) 

BEFORE INSTALLATION 

IMPORTANT 

It is recommended that the unit be kept at room 
temperature for at least 24 hours before applying 
power; this is to allow the evaporation of any 
condensation resulting from low shipping / storage 
temperatures. 
 
US requirement, only: This device must be installed in 
a UL-listed enclosure offering adequate space to 
maintain the segregation of line voltage field wiring 
and Class 2 field wiring. 

 CAUTION 

To avoid electrical shock or equipment damage, you 
must switch OFF the power supply before attaching / 
removing connections to/from any terminals.

(C 

Of this model's six UIs, only two UIs support NTC; this model is thus not suitable for the hardwiring of wall modules requiring 

three UIs supporting NTC. 

(D

 This model's four binary-only inputs are labelled as UI1-UI4.
